    MOST of the classic Barbie movies is just Barbie telling one of her sisters a story, so I don't get WHY they've abandoned that format. It could still work, Like, Barbie's everyday life plays out normally through her Netflix show, and for the movies, maybe Barbie takes a break from editing her RUclips vlogs, and sees one of her sisters having a bad time, and sits them down to tell them story.

      Exactly! What worked so well with that format is that we as the viewer were looking through the eyes of the younger sister and we admire Barbie because she’s somewhat of a mysterious character. Taking that away gives a weird feeling when interacting with the dolls because the translation from movie Barbie to doll Barbie isn’t there. Maybe that was just me as a kid

    I usually don't like hating on new stuff as a collective, because when I see older generations do it, it comes off to me as narrow-minded. But when it comes to Barbie, I genuinely feel like there's a gap in quality (in terms of story and dialogue) between the older films and the newer ones. I've tried to chalk it up to my nostalgia in the past, but come on. You can't tell me music lyrics like, "I've got magic! Magic, magic!" are in the same league as, "You would think that I'm so lucky that I have so many things. I'm realizing that every present comes with strings." (and don't get me wrong, I don't even think The Secret Door is that bad of a movie).
    The classic Barbie films were so magical and whimsical and romantic though. Even my Mom liked them. They taught great lessons --- like Clara finding her inner strength and courage, Odette learning to have faith in herself, the Twelve Dancing Princesses learning to embrace their individuality, etc. They had pretty good dialogue too and were often genuinely funny. It felt as though the creators actually cared about telling thoughtful stories with fun and interesting characters. Nowadays I don't really feel that. I think the only film after 2011 that I truly liked was Starlight Adventure.

    • @sailorcat
      @sailorcat Год назад +65

      I agree! I always thought it was nostalgia, but when I took my time to look at the evolution of Barbie movies, I noticed clear changes. From around Mermaid Tale on, almost all movies take place in the real, modern world, or have it as a starting point. They also stopped adapting famous stories like fairytales. I also think they tend to shy away from showing real struggles and problems, or at least they are easier resolved. (This is just a tendency though.)

    It's interesting to see how the style of Barbie movies changes so fast. I grew up with the 2007-2015 Barbie movies, and I saw an immediate shift in the Puppy Adventure movies (what wikipedia is describing as the second revamp). But I actually really enjoyed Spy Squad, Star Light Adventure, and Video Game Hero. There's just something about the Dreamhouse Adventures that makes it seem like the shift went just a little too far and I still haven't figured out what exactly it is about it that bothers me. I'm also wondering if it's just our collective aging taste and nostalgia, or if the quality of the writing in the movies really is deteriorating.

    I only watched Mermaid Power because I was curious about the questionable character design of the bully mermaids, as they looked like cringey rejects from Shadow High or Monster High to me. The powers also reminded me a bit too much of things like Avatar the Last Airbender as well as the way characters earn their visions in Genshin Impact.
    I was very surprised that there were no dolls made of the bully characters who looked like they were trying to copy Shadow High or Monster High. Why would they not make dolls of the characters who had actually interesting designs? And I hate the molded on clothes on these dolls, which is a reason I stopped collecting Barbie movie dolls as a kid. At least I have Monster High, Rainbow High, and Shadow High to collect now.

    Idk if someone raised that comment, but I felt like the musical numbers were just too close to one another and one or two could’ve been a simple scene.
    The other thing I personally didn’t like about them was that, for some reason, they felt the need to make Barbie/Barbie/other friends look at the “camera”?? Idk about other ppl, but it just bothered me a lot 😅 I think it’s the first time they tried that kind of “interaction” with the audience, maybe to test it out and see how the viewers react to it, but I hope they don’t do it again. It was appropriate for the Dreamhouse series because it’s supposed to be a sitcom, but it felt very unnatural in BMP.

As for the story problem, the plot line of the movie is almost EXACTLY what I’m doing for a book 😂 I don’t want to feel like I’m ripping off the movie, but the whole thing with pollution and the mermaids having powers (though mine won’t have the four elements) is what I’m doing for my story. And the villain for my book is kind of like Marlow too

    The older movies: Adventure, teamwork and friendship, magic, fun songs.
    This movie: Trash is bad and mermaids stop it with their powers.
    It's a good message but badly executed, the mermaids hairs looked weird and a bit ugly, the songs were horrible. The animation is ok but the rest was not. I almost falled asleep when i watched it two months ago and can't remember the plot. I think it was about a ceremony and choosing who will destroy trash? I still remember what happens in Barbie Swan lake, the Daimond castle, magic of pegasus, Twelve dancing princesses and the Island princess. Thoses are really good movies 😀

    I was a Barbie fanatic as a kid, I am *not kidding* I can recital pretty much all of the older Barbie movies by heart (besides words I struggled hearing 😩) and play the whole movies in my head if I’m that bored ahh. Since 2016 though, I’ve given up watching them all right away and the interest just isn’t fully there. It doesn’t have much to do with nostalgia but just the fact that the quality from the dolls have sept into the movies. The animation doesn’t look all that interesting either. This makes me sad honestly because some newer Barbie movies can be so charming.

    I’m so in love with Brooklyn Barbie dolls. They used a new nose mold for her and her freckles are so cute and make me so happy because I feel like I never see dolls with medium-dark skin that also has noticeable freckles (something I think about a surprising amount because I am a medium-dark skinned Black girl with noticeable freckles). I geek out about the changes there have been to the black Barbie’s over the past few years a LOT because so much has changed. There are so many skin tones now, so many nose molds, they use more than one eye stencil, there are a few designs with vitiligo, there’s an albino Barbie that is still intentionally designed to be recognizably Black, and so many hair styles and multiple curl textures instead of just wavy and afro. Like, of the things Mattel skips out on, the diversity in their female black dolls hasn’t been one of them. I admittedly don’t look at the other POC dolls as much to see if the same effort to mix features is there though

    Honestly, I haven't seen Dolphin Magic yet, so I liked that we finally got a Barbie mermaid movie where the animals look somewhat realistic and DON'T TALK!! In the past, I felt like the talking animals were really shoehorned in and it just made the movie feel a lot more direct-to-video than I'd like. And the animals being weird colors (a lot more common in the mermaid films, I think) felt at times like it was trying too hard to be marketable to children. So I think this movie is somewhat refreshing in that aspect. I like that it's just realistic enough that young kids may be able to better apply it to real-world imaginative play. Viva was also genuinely one of my favorite parts of the movie, I really wasn't expecting to see a vaquita here lol.
    What I really didn't like about the movie was how disorganized the plot was. It didn't feel like there was a proper story arc (especially with the girls randomly earning their powers one by one in an underdeveloped canon world), but rather like an extended toy commercial. Usually they try to hide that a little bit better. And the musical numbers only made it worse... not that they were unpleasant to listen to, they were pretty average, but they really didn't move the story along at all and just felt like music videos in the middle of the movie. I think that part of the reason for this is to capitalize on K-pop trends (like the songs on their RUclips channel have been doing), by incorporating some vaguely similar choreography, but Zombies 3 also did that and I think they did it a lot better.

    • @serenaistired

    I love mermaids alot, so I sat through Dolphin Magic, even though I didn't enjoy it so much.
    I confess I don't remember much cuz at the time, I wasn't giving the new timeline a chance and I only watched Dolphin Magic twice.
    But I remember loving Ken and his new job and I liked the silliness of the villain, who returned in this one.
    So.. That being said, my expectations were better for Mermaid Power, but not to high, so all your negatives didn't upset me.
    When I felt like sleeping, I skipped a bit.
    I felt the conclusion could've been better but I didn't hate either barbie this movie or the sisters, which carried me through the plot.
    Plus, addressing bullying is Always a plus for me.
    So, 6/10 for me. I look forward to seeing your future videos❤️
